I was using gconftool-2 --set ..... to set the values. Thank you for the suggestion it works easily on my Ubuntu setup, that I am using to debug my script base.
However on my target device, a Gumstix Overo, I cannot seem to get the connection info to load. It is like I have no system settings service. I can see my modem being recognised by dbus-monitor, I just cannot activate a connection. "Connection was not provided by any settings service" On this device I have no Gui and currently no qdbus on the system. I do have nmcli. I am finding debug tricky at present. Any debug suggestions would be much appreciated. For reference I am using a 3 modem, made by ZTE, model MF112.

If you edit them directly, that's a problem since GConf manages configuration via its daemon and can discard your changes. You should consider using gconftool-2 to edit the configuration. You can simply dump a connection to a file: gconftool-2 --dump /system/networking/connections/1 > myconnnection.conf edit the file and then load it as a new configuration: gconftool-2 --load myconnnection.conf If there is an error in a configuration, nm-connection-editor should complain when reading it (see .xsession-errors or output on terminal).
